Someone Make a CM7 Rom Please.

I love the cm7 and wish someone would make a cm7 rom for the D2.

Its pretty much impossible with the locked bootloader. Cm7 needs a custom kernel that the locked bootloader doesn't allow, so were stuck with stock.

well that sucks.

Try liberty, it's about as good as it gets at the moment. I think keyjar is also working on a gummyJar GB version, which should be a solid rom as well. There is a working UD port for D2, but it's still on RC2 and hasn't been updated in a while, though I ran it for a few weeks and it was pretty solid. Liberty GB is also in the works, though not publicly available atm. CM7 isn't really necessary for the D2, since most of what you would get can be had in other roms currently available, just via some different means.

any way to get the lockscreen gestures currently?

Cm7 DOES NOT need a custom rom. It will run better if it does but it's not required. But we don't have aosp Rome such as cm7 because the locked bootloader makes it hard to make things work

Alright I wanna clear this up.
Cyanogenmod is a custom rom. We can install those on our Droid 2/X devices with Koush's Bootstrap tool. That said, we cannot install a custom kernel. Thus, cm-kernel for Droid 2/X is probably not going to happen anytime soon. However, that is not to say that Cyanogenmod 7 requires a specific kernel. I see no reason why Cyanogenmod 7 could not run on the stock Motorola kernel.
Moving on, cvpcs is working on a Cyanogenmod port for Droid X (and thus also Droid 2). When the rom will be stable, however, is unclear. As far as I understand, it's not really working.

More importantly, this is the development section, not the request section. There is no request section for a good reason.

Ok, for those who aren't searching these days...
1 - Cyanogen won't come out officially with a D2 port until Moto unlocks the bootloader
2 - Cyanogen actually doesn't need a custom kernel to do what it does
2a - Go use Liberty..its effectively Cyanogen sans a 'custom kernel' and does all the same.
Me, I'm flashing back to stock for a while. Liberty 2.0 is causing me some headaches as of late and I can't download @#$ from the market it seems cause its like everything is fricken blocked now.

Also motorola probably will never unlock the bootloaders on their phones so getting CM7 will be impossible

I thought Motorola stated that they would unlock the bootloader, but it was up to the carriers whether or not they would allow for it.

Jordan umts is the codename of the Defy... which is also locked.... and we are the 4th device in cyanogen 7 number of installs stats

Originally, yes, it was Motorola's policy to lock the bootloader, but they had announced recently that they would leave the bootloader unlocked, at least for phones on carriers that allowed it (so, I would at least guess that AT&T would be out of the picture, since they've even been controlling of the ability to sideload apps).

Working on it come help if you can:

[Q] New to Droid X, completely alien

So I've just got a droid x and I'm pretty confused here, as I'm used to other phones where it's just root->flash new rom. How does it exactly work for the droid x and what are its limitations? I know there's some kind of lock(s) or whatever on it but I'm pretty uneducated here, Like, why is there no CyanogenMod support, but there are other ROMs available? Is there a different process of flashing for the droidx apart from other phones? Thank you

The only difference is the locked Bootloader. That means (for now) that you can't have custom kernels, which Cyanogen usually has. The locked bootloader also means that you need a bootstrapper (available in market) in order to get clockwork to boot. Other than that rooting and flashing roms is pretty much standard.

[Q] Unlocked bootloader on motorola milestone x?

Hey all:
So I'm really interested in changing my rom, but everywhere I turn I'm told I can't do so because the bootloader is locked on the droid x. I had always been under the impression it was the same for the milestone x since they're both motorola, and basically the same phone except the milestone is debranded and used on smaller cdma networks, rather than verizon... However, as I scour the web in search of enlightenment, I find a discussion about the bootloader, where it was implied that it was verizon, not motorola, who wanted the bootloader locked and that on the non-droid (non-verizon) x's this isn't an issue. Can anyone verify that the bootloader is indeed unlocked on the milestone x, our give me a "safe" way to do so? And if so, what roms would work?
Thanks

I haven't seen anything that says that the bootloader is unlocked on the Milestone X. Verizon may not want an open bootloader but I doubt the smaller carriers do either. At least mine wouldn't.

Hey, another kentucky boy. I'm assuming that means you're on app wireless, which means we should have pretty much the exact same phones. Did you take the 2.3.5 update around the end of last year? Have you tried any custom roms? found any that work on the milestone?

Yeah, I'm with Appalachian! Wireless. I played around with some custom ROMs before the Gingerbread update, but I haven't risked it since. I may give it another go once I'm closer to my contract being up. Now that would probably change if I could get a good SBF image to fall back to if I break something.

Yeah its pretty crappy that Appalachian has never released an sbf.. They're sort of weird about stuff like that... But I saw somewhere on the interweb something about a "generic north american milestone x sbf". Our phones don't seen to have any sort of model customization for app wireless, so maybe that would work?... I hear that the ics gummy rom works on the milestone x, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm new to all this hacking and modding stuff.. I finally have it rooted and found this ics launcher in the market called holo launcher that works pretty well, and I've been experimenting with some metamorph themes (got the r2d2 lock screen...oohh yeahhh...lol), so I don't know if I'll risk it. Maybe when my contact ends in november and I'm during outside the store at 4 in the morning waiting in line for the black friday sale, I'll cave and give it a shot... Lol

After successfully flashing my Milestone X with CyanogenMod I noticed my Google Market was not included. I found it and renamed to update... and placed it on my sdcard. No go, I later tried to replace the bootloader and bricked my X. They gave me another one and now I have Gingerbread. From what I read in the wiki I would have to do all suggested backup apn stuff and flash back to froyo or previous version.
The problem I had when I flashed the Shadow ROM, the kernel was not updated, so I decided there was no real benefit to all this and it might be easier to just keep the latest carrier update and install a new theme.
Good luck,
Elliot

I'm pretty sure the bootloader has not been unlocked. The kernel will remain stock no matter what rom you flash.

The generic .SBF won't work on our phones. It would sort of work prior to the Gingerbread update but after it will brick your phone. I think I have it saved somewhere though if your feeling adventurous.

Thanks, but no thanks. This phone has got to last me another few months, so adventure will have to wait.

So, if I use this vortex rom, and it turns oit I don't like it or it somehow interferes with my phones functionality, I can revert back to my old settings via nan droid backup, right?

One last question, just to be on the safe side.. Installing this rom shouldn'thave any effect on my baseband/radio/data coverage/etc, should it? Sorry if its a dumb question. just gotta be careful until my contact runs out.

It should not, and in the event something should go wrong or not work correctly, you always have the option of restoring a backup or SBFing.

Root first, then use Droid 2 Bootstrapper to install recovery, update recovery via ROM Manager, then install CyanogenMod and Gapps.

Hey! Sorry for the long delay. To give you an update, I WAS able to flash vortex RC1 without a problem. However, I wasn't crazy about the design and I couldn't get the Wi-Fi to work even with the Wi-Fi lib fix, so so I was forced to Nandroid back to stock. However, I tried vortex reloaded and not only did I like the design better, but the Wi-Fi worked!! I used it for a while, then did a Nandroid and downloaded and flashed liberty 3 v2, again without a hitch. I can't decide which I like better, so I just go back and forth between the two. I'm so indecisive... lol... but if you're you're interested, you can download liberty and RC1 from the same place. Just Google "blur-based roms on .621/.604" and click the top result, which should be rootzwiki. You can also find an apex rom there. As for vortex reloaded, you'll have to do a little more digging, but it shouldn't be hard to find...
As for choosing a rom, it's all personal preference. But the one thing I can NOT STRESS ENOUGH is that, when using a milestone x, the rom needs to be modified for the .621/.604 hack. As for 2nd-init roms, I have no idea because I've never looked into them. Hope this helps!!

2nd init roms can be used on .621/.604.

If you have no desire to step on the wild side and free up you X you can keep it as a backup or sell it. but if you want to take a ride on the wild side i would root it and enjoy some of the open source benefits that android has to offer like more customization, Roms. ( essentially a unlocked modded version of android software) even look up threads for getting the latest android os (jelly bean which i have on my droid 1) that's beyond what Verizon and Motorola has labeled suitable to run on that phone. there's tons more stuff you can do

I have thought about rooting it and putting a rom on it then selling. I took the .621 ota. Since its harder to root em i seen they sell better. Im just a noob to the whole thing. I bricked it awhile ago flashing it to milestone overwrote the radio. Made the mistake of trying to flash it to .605 (bad mistake). I have thought about just using my dx to practice with.

I run a rooted and rom'd DX on the .621 as my daily driver and there is in fact a root method that doesn't require the .604 method, but some people are reporting issues with things like custom recovery working properly.

This is the thread to the root method I use anytime I have to SBF my phone because I screwed something up. It's really really easy and only takes 5-10 minutes.
